QA: Automation Testing - port Echo Notification tests to Node.js
Aim of the Project
The purpose of this project is to create automated tests to check that updates to the changes made to the code base do no break existing components.
- Port existing tests for the Echo extension from Ruby into JavaScript and expand on this test set depending on the needs as they arise during the four month period.
